@FootyIsMyJam Club got a $100 000 fine for doing that. Just sayin’

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay Yeah maybe. Realised Oldfield played 36/37 so Green would need to keep playing til 38.

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay Which means 2/3 of the time he was bowling. No wonder his wickets per match is so high!

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay Shaun Pollock 1.398 very stiff!

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay Was there a small sample size in SA, skewed by a few early deaths?

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@FootyIsMyJam Yes!!

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay Wilf Rhodes is asking if anyone has played more professional matches 😃

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay As a traditionalist it saddens me that Root is likely to be the last

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@elitisthonesty @FootyIsMyJam Parkin in 95 as well

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@Big_Dan82 @TheRunHomeSENSA Chad wouldn’t have played against Mods in a Showdown - he was gone to Freo by the time Chad started

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay I guess that means the bowling averages are also trending down

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@sirswampthing *first. Dammit

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@sirswampthing I don’t want to be that guy, but it’s maiden fist class ton, not debut

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@MitchellGlenn Worst I saw was 05 Ashes, 5th Test, Australia needing to win, so our boys took the light 🤷

@ahleach @DanielCherny Niche

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay And this one

@RicFinlay I actually thought it would be more. Especially when you include bats who bowl occasionally

[Greg Herbert @GregHerbert]

@RicFinlay They were outliers. No one’s averaged 60+ before or since - Aust bowling between the wars was as shallow as it’s ever been.
